     "text": "Streamflow data collection and analysis are a necessary component of effective water resource management and planning.  Low-flow statistics are needed to safely allow withdrawals from and discharges to surface waters in the State of New Jersey.  Operating streamflow gaging stations at every water use location would be ideal but is cost prohibitive. Statistics help extend the utility of available data and provide reliable information for a fraction of the cost of operating streamgages."

     "text": "Estimates of various flow statistics at un-gaged locations are available from USGS web applications such as \u201cStreamStats\u201d, in which regional equations based on physical basin characteristics are used to transfer flow information from long-term continuous gages. These flow estimates are based on streamgage data that are considered to be un-impacted by water use or regulation, and are considered \u201cnatural\u201d. The low-flow statistics needed for water management in the context of this project do require inclusion of the effects of water use and regulation. A vast network of partial-record sites in New Jersey reflects these altered flows, and makes it possible to estimate \u201cactual\u201d rather than a presumed \u201cnatural\u201d condition. The estimates are site specific and attempt to represent at-site conditions as much as the available data allow."
